55: No, why do you even say this?
Zhuang Sanming quickly went over and pulled her back. "Sorry, my sister has a bit of a problem with her head. Please bear with her."
Su Duo: ???
"Cousin, what are you saying? When did I have a problem with my head...?"
Before she could finish, Zhuang Sanming covered her mouth with his hand.
"Sorry, sorry, heh heh."
"Wait." The big man suddenly stood up. His fleshy face looked even more terrifying, but his eyes were full of curiosity. "Just now, your sister, who has a problem with her head... uh, said, 'Why don't I cultivate?' What does that mean?"
"This, it means..." Zhuang Sanming was about to say something to fob him off when Su Duo broke free from his grasp.
"Cousin, why won't you let me speak?" Su Duo lightly snorted and said, "This is your first time taking the carriage, isn't it? Cultivating on the carriage has its benefits. You'll know if you try it yourself."
Zhuang Sanming: "..."
Look, look, she's spilling everything she knows again.
If others ask a bit more, she might even reveal where their home is.
With such a loose tongue, can this cousin still be kept?
"Cultivating on the carriage has its benefits?" The big man frowned, looking even more menacing.
But Su Duo was no longer afraid. "Yes, you'll know if you try cultivating yourself. If this carriage could only be ridden, why would I come to ride it every day?"
Zhuang Sanming: "???"
No, why are you even saying that?!
Now people will know you come every day and can wait for you!
Is it still not too late to distance himself from her?
"Thank you." The big man actually thanked her.
Su Duo said very naturally, "You're welcome."
"Alright, stop messing around. Let's cultivate quickly, or the low-grade spirit stones will be wasted." Zhuang Sanming really didn't want Su Duo to speak anymore, so he reminded her to cultivate.
"Oh, oh, oh, right! I paid for it!" Su Duo immediately became diligent, sat down in an empty seat, and closed her eyes to cultivate.
As soon as she sat down, another person arrived.
The big man from before hadn't started cultivating yet. He suddenly looked up and saw the person coming in from outside, and his expression instantly turned sour.
Ximen Chuifeng, who had just boarded, also recognized him. That's right, this big man was Xiong Mao, the third-in-command of the Axe Gang, who was thrown off the carriage yesterday for not buying a ticket.
If Ximen Chuifeng had met Xiong Mao elsewhere, he would have walked around him, but this was on the carriage.
So, Ximen Chuifeng not only didn't walk around him but even greeted him, "Isn't this Brother Xiong? Hello."
Xiong Mao was made a fool of by Ximen Chuifeng yesterday, so it would be strange if he responded to him now.
He did want to stand up and fight Ximen Chuifeng directly, but due to the extremely high combat power of this carriage, he ultimately didn't dare to move.
Ximen Chuifeng, on the other hand, found it a bit amusing. Yesterday, this old man refused to buy a ticket and was thrown out. Now he's obediently buying a ticket, isn't he?
So he took out his small notebook from his storage bag, turned to the Axe Gang section, found Xiong Mao, and wrote on it: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'
Seeing this description, Lin Feng was somewhat gloating. So it wasn't just him who would be recorded in Ximen Chuifeng's small notebook.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please be seated and hold on tight. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones."
No matter who boarded, Lin Feng's first words were always to urge them to buy a ticket. Of course, those who consciously bought tickets, like Su Duo just now, didn't need to be urged.
Ximen Chuifeng was also very straightforward and immediately gave the low-grade spirit stones.
After he went back yesterday, he gave the information he had gathered about Tong Changshan to those mercenaries, so now he wasn't worried about spending money at all.
However, what surprised him a bit was that Tong Changshan had also ridden this carriage before.
It seemed this carriage was still very popular in the forest. Indeed, the driver had at least two abilities, and riding in the carriage was both safe and allowed for cultivation – simply perfect.
It would be even better if he didn't have to pay for a ticket.
After getting his ticket, Ximen Chuifeng sat down in the empty seat. Now all four seats were filled.
Xiong Mao glared fiercely at Ximen Chuifeng. It was this brat who made him embarrass himself last time by being thrown off, and he was even thrown into the Inner Circle, almost not surviving.
If not for good luck, he wouldn't be sitting here perfectly fine right now.
So, you brat, just you wait. I'll deal with you when we get off the carriage later!!
However, when he entered a state of cultivation, his whole body trembled.
This spiritual energy... why is there so much?!
He cultivated every day, but he had never cultivated in a place with such abundant spiritual energy!
No wonder that little girl just now said cultivating on the carriage had its benefits. So that's what it was all about!!
No, he had to cultivate quickly, or wouldn't the money be wasted?
If he had known this, he would have bought a ticket directly on the carriage last time. Face was important, but compared to such abundant spiritual energy, what was it worth?!
Just as Xiong Mao was about to cultivate properly and absorb spiritual energy, a "ding" sound rang in his mind.
"Destination reached. Passengers, please alight."
Xiong Mao: "???"
What does that mean?
How come the spiritual energy suddenly couldn't be felt?
Xiong Mao opened his eyes. He had only just immersed himself in the spiritual energy for less than a minute, and it was already gone so quickly.
Who could be more miserable than him?
The spiritual energy here suddenly disappeared for him, but Ximen Chuifeng and the others were still closing their eyes, absorbing spiritual energy. Clearly, only his had stopped.
This carriage could actually do such a thing. That's too outrageous!
Xiong Mao hesitated, wondering whether to tell the gang leader about this when he went back.
He hadn't mentioned it last time because after being thrown off, he felt there must be something wrong with this carriage. Otherwise, why would Ximen Chuifeng pay to ride it?
One must know, that guy wouldn't get up early without profit. Without money, who could command him?
"Can I ride the carriage again? Don't worry, I'll buy a ticket."
Xiong Mao had learned his lesson this time, knowing that if he didn't buy a ticket, he would be thrown off. If he were thrown into the Inner Circle again, he wouldn't be able to get out without such good luck.
However, even if he was willing to buy a ticket, Lin Feng couldn't sell him one.
"One passenger can only ride the train once within 24 hours."
No matter who it was, there were no exceptions.
"Damn it!" Xiong Mao couldn't hold back and cursed.
So, one could only ride once a day. No wonder these people hurried to cultivate as soon as they got on, afraid of wasting even a little time.
Oh, except for that little girl who likes to talk.
Su Duo: ? Are you being polite?
Xiong Mao was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to challenge the authority of this carriage again, so he had no choice but to jump off.
The stopping point this time was in the outer perimeter, so he didn't have to worry too much about his safety. He got off the carriage and walked out of the forest. He had decided not to tell anyone else about the carriage for now. He would come back himself tomorrow.
